From Our Research Team:

Make Yourself Heard, with Bose!

The result of 10 years of research, the Bose L1 Model 1 is a phenomenal all-in-one, portable PA for midrange instruments and voices. This slim, lightweight system features 24 speakers with special dispersion technology, to deliver natural sound to both the audience and the performers. You can bring in up to four sources, using the built-in 4-channel mixer — and there are even more than 100 of Bose's premier ToneMatch presets to quickly develop a great sound. To fill the low end, two B1 bass modules come with this Bose L1 Model I system.





Bose L1 Model I (Dual Bass Package) Portable PA System at a Glance:
  • Wide, uniform coverage — throughout the room
  • Built-in 4-channel mixer with premier ToneMatch presets
  • Big bass, small package

Wide, uniform coverage — throughout the room
With one trip from the car to the stage, you'll have your full PA system and monitoring system in one hand — all thanks to Bose's Spatial Dispersion technology. The Bose L1 Model 1 system has 24 small drivers inside a vertical enclosure — all positioned at precise angles. The result is nearly 180 degrees of even horizontal sound coverage — so the sound remains the same, even at the extreme sides of the audience or the stage. Instead of dialing in a stage monitor while wondering what the mix sounds like from the crowd — with the Bose L1 Model 1 system, you'll always hear exactly what the audience hears.

Built-in 4-channel mixer with premier ToneMatch presets
The Bose L1 Model 1's power stand sports built-in amplifiers to drive the loudspeaker and up to two B1 bass modules at one time, so you'll have plenty of sound for the gig. What's more, it's also loaded with an integrated 4-channel mixer with two XLR inputs for vocalists and two line-level inputs for other instruments. Beyond that, Bose packed in their ToneMatch presets on the first two channels - a Bose exclusive — that help you quickly optimize the tone of up to 100 specific instruments and microphones, all at the touch of a button. It's a no-fuss, instant-EQ solution.

Big bass, small package
Bose's B1 bass modules are considerably lighter and smaller than traditional subwoofers required for comparable performance. This L1 Model I — with a pair of B1 bass modules — gives you full, big-sounding low end that makes your sound really come to life.

Bose L1 Model 1 (Dual Bass Package) Portable PA System Features:
  • All-in-one mixer, PA system, and monitoring system
  • Recommended for midrange instruments and voices
  • Features wide, uniform coverage via Spatial Dispersion loudspeaker technology, available only from Bose
  • Four inputs — two with ToneMatch presets, for instant, excellent sound
  • Two B1 bass modules included, to fill out the low end
  • Projects clean, detailed sound evenly across the stage and throughout an audience of up to several hundred, with little change in tone or volume
  • Produces smooth, consistent tone, whether you're in front of the loudspeaker or off to the side
  • Reduces much unwanted room reverberation
  • Eliminates conventional monitors, mixers and PA
  • Sets up and breaks down quickly; fits easily into a car trunk

Sounds awesome

by Rick from Philly, PA

I use a pair of these for sound reinforcement for everything from swing bands to rock bands. They sound spectacular. Voices sound studio-clear without harsh highs. Simply sweet.

Sweetwater Advice

Andy Miller
I've used the L1 double bass as my personal audio system for 3 years in a live rock band, an acoustic duo, and for music playback at parties and weddings. In each situation, simply selecting the right preset for the job gets me instant professional results. Coverage is nearly 180 degrees and everyone who hears it remarks about how clear and smooth the system sounds. Mine has survived freezing cold, blistering summer heat, and hundreds of load-ins without a single failure. This system is a serious tool for any performer who needs a personal, portable PA system. Play more and tweak less, starting today!
